Ten MORE Reasons I Love Indie Publishing



  1. I’ve had a little more time to think about why I like publishing independently
  2. I can create my own release schedule—and not be tied to someone else’s;
  3. I can view other writers as colleagues and not as rivals—because we are not competing for the very limited places in a publisher’s release schedule AND because neither of us can write quickly enough to keep up with our readers;
  4. I can recommend other writers to my readers based on my own judgement and not on someone else’s need to promote another author in their stable—this means I can recommend writers who create similar stories to my own, and/or whose stories I think my readers will enjoy, regardless of where they are published or who by;
  5. I can recommend other writers to my readers without fearing that any drop in sales will mean my work falls behind and is pulled from the publishing schedule;
  6. I can correct errors in a more timely fashion—instead of waiting for the end of a print run or depending on someone else’s agreement to allow me to do so;
  7. Readers can receive corrected versions of the work they have purchased for free;
  8. I can promote or not promote according to the time and resources I have available—and not be in breach of contract; I do not need to promote at the expense of my writing time;
  9. I can publish my short stories individually and in tailored collections;
  10. I can gather all the short work I produce each year and publish it as a single collection;
  11. I own the rights to my work and can sell or lease them to the best of my advantage—rather than having someone else own them and do nothing with them.
